What a beautiful child! He seems so pensive as he l looks into your lens! I hope you will be able to see him again sometime! I am sure that you will never forget him!

Nice shot, the second face is really intresting as well and have an “adult” expression. Tiny things like the tongue out can make the shot !

Very deep shot. It has many different emotions and looking at it from different angles gives it also multiple characters. Great shot.

Kids are the same all over the world; it’s a pity the adults don’t realize that we are basically all the same too.

Really nice shot and you have a nice site ..

He is indeed beautiful, and seems wise beyond his years as he looks through your lens into our souls.
He must have sensed in you your innate love and acceptance. It is through photos like yours that I can travel the world here in my own small town. We have beautiful children too, and Pauline said it well.

He wants out! Wouldn’t we all? But he can sense the outside, the reason for hope, swiftly slipping away from his ‘grasp’, and you have captured his desperation, and awareness of a deeply complex situation. Compelling photograph. Very deep and real.

I don’t see desperation in that lovely face.I believe he’s doing this pose for Anna, whom he’s come to trust.
His buddy is a tad jealous!
Great picture.
Anurag
Very cute pose. He seems to be totally fascinated by you. Trying hard to figure out so many questions erupting in his little mind!

Aawww! What a cute little kid! Just being goofy for the camera, that’s all. How cool he wanted to take you all over the place. That is trust, plain and simple, to take a complete stranger by the hand and share what’s yours.
Laurie
I agree with Marie and Anurag. He is definitely captivated by her!
